I dont think RA had much choice as the NRC is an RA sactioned comp. I think Robinson is hypocritical in saying youngsters need their heroes in view, what about the kids in WA who have had their heroes taken away from them!

It's actually smart for RA to get that "news" out there as they can then point the finger back at the IPRC if they can't come to an agreement.

Agree absolutely. You can imagine the scene.
Castle: Forrest says he doesn't need us. What are you going to do about it Cameron.
Clyne: Robbo get onto this. Make same nice noises but don't be condescending.
Robinson: Wayne mate. Got a good story for you. It's exclusive.
Clyne: Good job Robbo. That will shut the mongrels up in the west for a while. Now how do we get that $70 million.

I always notice we get something everytime we threaten them.. ASIC inquiry on the cards and they are trying to can it.. Or they will go in saying we gave them the IP back in January ,, Player concessions Feb,, March they will give us more concessions then April we give them Jail sentences lol

I reckon Cheika or whoever the next Wallabies coach is will ask for it to be changed as players will still go overseas regardless. You only have to look at how bare his cupboard is at 10 at the moment and say that Zack Holmes signs for Singapore and play as well as he is doing now they would select him. Hodge is not the answer he is too stiff with his passing and muscle bound to play 10. Shifting some of that off my affect his ball running which is his strength.

Having one 10 long term in match day squads is not going to work.

Cheika has an abundance of 10s in Australia.

Three more tens will play Super Rugby this year than he believes he needs.

The IPRC has the potential to become the richest rugby comp in the world! When salaries match and exceed what is being offered in Europe, Australian players will jump on board for big dollar contracts the RA and Clown (Cheika) will change their tune. Whether playing for the Force or one of the other teams in the IPRC the players will be seen on free to air tv and rugby can finally emerge out of the FOXTEL shadow.

Maybe, maybe not. We must remember, Cheika has been loyal to a select number of players regardless of their capability or performance for the entirety of their career. I can't imagine that will change just because some players are sick of trying to qualify for a position where the KPI is that your name is Bernard Foley and you are still breathing. The same exists in various positions but Foley is the most glaring one, He can play like stale piss and still be locked in for every match he's fit. If Cheika could clone him, he would.

Seeing as nobody want QC it would be ironic if he ended up playing for the IPRC a whilst being paid by the FURA to stay fit until IPRC find him a team which would have to be the Force if the Clown 🤡 wants him in the Wallabies!https://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/w...23150831ea6ad0

Three more tens will play Super Rugby this year than he believes he needs.

Lance who is supposed to be off to Worcester come August? Then you have Hawera the unqualified Kiwi, Leiliifano struggling with his general play kicking, Foley won't get dropped and Debcrezeini who was apparently let go by the Rabble.

Apart from the parasite de Clyne what has Sydney Uni got to do with that announcement?

As for Wayne he does come out with stuff but still hits the mark.

Huh? I mean the Robinson whoís the Deputy Chair of Ratís Arse & who Wayne got his info from in the article at the start of this thread. Wayne made it sound as though it was all systems go on the IPRC front and that RA had removed the roadblocks. But itís obvious from the article on the RAís own site (that I posted a link to above) that nothing has changed.
